Okaaay... Long time no write, lost of new stuff
So Eclipse is here, papers are done, I'm officially the only owner of 1GB GSX is Croatia
Here are some pic how she looked when we came to pick her up in Italy.
Our transport Mitsubishi Pajero.. I will never do that again, that was most uncomfortable trip ever..
Then we had some papers problem.
When they imported it new from Florida to Italy in 92 they couldn't register it here because of the red rear blinkers. They had to be orange.
So they cut!!!! the rear lights and put some orange inserts in ti.
Also added some ugly orange ones on front side of the car.
When they did that they change the car VIN number because it had modifications.
New VIN number was stamped into right strut (don't know if thats the right word) and it looks like the kids were playing with it.
So to cut the story short, we manage to get all the papers and went home.
When we finally got home, we found her a nice place in garage.
Ok so that is the car.
All the parts that I gathered over the years for Colt, will now go into Eclipse.
Again I have to say, all this wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for Chris.
He was very kind to help me out with parts. I would order parts from stores and got them shipped to his door.
He would then put few parts in the box and sent it to me. Chis I'm very grateful for your help, one day I will come and visit you and buy you a beer
So here are some of the parts that will go onto Eclipse.
TZ-Series Kevlar Clutch.
GSC Powerd Division S1 cams, OBX fuel rail, ACL Race bearings, i Innovate MTX gauge.
Quaife LSD front diff. I bought it for 90' FWD F5M33 but it seams ti will go to AWD as it was meant for it in first place
Few dark parts
Forced performance 68HTA turbo and exhaust manifold with EVO 3 O2 housing, all coated.
Eagles
Magnus intake
850cc injectors
Innovate wideband i speed density
Wiseco
ECMLink
There are more parts like 255 FP fuel pump, aeromotive AFPR, ARP head studs, Gates timing belt, adjustable cam gears..
AWD Fidanza flywheel and fuildampr are on the way from US so I don't have pic from them.
Few days ago Tial Q bov arrived from Germany.
So those were the parts.
Lets head back to garage.
In mean time I got great offer on engine from Eclipse so I couldn't pass that go so I sold it.
I had the same 6 bolt engine that was in my Colt so we will now take that engine apart and clean it, polish it, do all the necessary work on it to get it back in top condition with all the parts above.
The only difference between those two engine is mileage.
The one I sold was 66.000 and the one from Colt had like 150.000.
But that is not the problem because the engine will be striped down to the last bolt.
Here are the pictures from taking out the engine.
Here are the Pictures with Flashback's Eclipse. Two sisters, the only one in Croatia
Now the pictures from stripping down the engine.
Then the first shock came. When we took down the cam gears cover we sow this..
Something must have been scraping the belt, but we didn't find any trace what could it be.
Sun finally came, so we took it out side
So here are the internals on 150.000+ miles engine. Engine was driven hard. I only had it for like 30.000 miles.
I took good care of it, but I cant say the same for the guys that owned it before me.
Engine is now clean and awaits Monday, when it will be sent to machine shop for treatment
That is it for now
